Grief is bound to affect each one of us at some point in our live. It's normal.  It's ok.  Can be very different from person to person.  And is so complex, in fact, that Elizabeth Kübler-Ross' original five stages of grief has evolved into seven.

For many people in Oregon, dealing with the wildfires has been especially difficult.
For those directly affected by the fires and evacuations, these traumatic events can bring feelings of stress, anxiety, grief, worry and anger. Even those who were not directly affected by fires and evacuations this year but have experienced them in the past may feel these emotions again. Seeing news reports or images of current fires or hearing about fires affecting loved ones can drive feelings like anxiety and stress.

  • Circle of Care: A Guidebook for Mental Health Caregivers
  • Circle of Care: A Guidebook for Caregivers of Children and Adolescents Managing Crohn’s Disease
  • The Circle of Care Guidebook for Caregivers of Children with Rare and/or Serious Diseases
NAC is proud to lend their expertise on caregiving through these guidebooks. To access the guidebooks for yourself and to share them with other caregivers in your life, please visit the link below.
